"How can you not care? You are being taken advantage of! It's not like you don't have money, or have issues finding another woman! Dump her and you can find other women to give birth to thirty children that share your family name!""..." Both Elliot and Avery were rendered speechless."Yeah! What's with your taste in women? That Avery knows no manners! She didn't even say hi when she saw us just now, who does she think she is?""She has no manners! Considering what she's done to you so far, she has always been that arrogant! How can you put up with a woman like that?""Elliot, dump her and we will introduce better women to you. You won't even have to delay your scheduled wedding day.""Yeah! My sister has always liked you. Not only is she prettier than Avery, but her figure is also perfect! She is definitely going to make you happy!""It's fine. Avery and I have been in love with each other for many years and I don't want anyone but her," Elliot refused politely.Around the corn
A while later, Elliot and Avery walked down the stairs and the others stared sternly at their entwined hands."Let's head out to eat!" Elliot walked towards them. "If we depart now, we will arrive at the hotel in time.""Sure! But is she going out dressed like this?" Someone stared at the way Avery was dressed and said, "Elliot, don't you think that it's embarrassing for you if she walks out dressing like that?"Elliot scanned Avery up and down. She was wearing a sleeping gown that was slightly creased at the bottom and a pair of flat slippers. Though it was a casual outfit, it was also a refreshing one; on top of that, he didn't have a change of clothes for her and she was hungry, so going out to eat became his first priority.Elliot glanced at Avery and did not respond to the man.Avery looked at the man with a smile. "I don't want to trouble everyone. Whoever thinks it's embarrassing to eat with me, you may be excused from eating with us later."The others' wanted to argue, bu
Elliot looked troubled. He said to everyone, "She has a very low alcohol tolerance and goes berserk once she is drunk. Not only will she swear and scold, but she will also flip tables. If you can bear the consequences…I'll let her raise her glass to you all?"Avery immediately raised her wine glass in cooperation."Hey! Hey! Forget about it! We haven't seen each other in a long time! We finally are able to gather to drink. Avery, place your glass down!" One of them sternly said.Avery timidly placed her glass down.The waiter began to serve food. Soon, the table was filled with food.Avery was famished, so once the dishes were served, she immediately said, "Everyone, the food has been served. Let's feast! Help yourselves!"Then, she picked up her utensils and took a piece of meat to eat.Everyone had a good level of living quality. They were used to eating expensive meat and seafood, but when they saw Avery only going for the expensive meat, they were still a little uncomfortabl
On the way back, the driver asked, "Miss Tate, where are we heading to?""My house." Avery had a full meal, so she was rather sleepy at that moment. She looked at her phone to see if there were any new messages.Mike sent her a few screenshots taken with the drone.[Mike: We mainly scouted the first target area this morning. We found seven units that placed red objects outside their windows. I checked each of them. I didn't find your patient. Will continue in the afternoon!]Avery did not expect that Mike would work so quickly. She replied, [Thank you.][Mike: Are you finally up? I heard that you spent the night at Elliot's last night. Where are you now? If you're still at Elliot's, I'll go there for a free meal!][Avery: I'm not at his house. A group of terrible people came to his house today. I chased them away.][Mike: F*ck. Are you that fierce? They are still his guests!][Avery: Is this your first day knowing me? It's because I knew that they were not good people. Also, on
An hour later, the driver picked Elliot up from the airport.Once Elliot got in the car, the driver asked, "Mr. Foster, where to?"Elliot rubbed the area in between his brows. He pondered for a while before saying, "To the office!"The driver said, "Okay."After driving off, the driver looked at Elliot's face through the rearview mirror. Coincidentally, Elliot saw him doing that, so he asked, "What's going on?""Mr. Foster, when I was sending Miss Tate back, she was talking to someone on the phone. They were in a fight." The driver hesitated for a while before saying to Elliot, "The person on the other end said that you didn't propose to Miss Tate. You missed out on a step. Miss Tate was so furious her face flushed. She even hung up on the other person."Avery constantly bickered that way with Mike, but it was the first time the driver had witnessed this, so he thought that Avery was feeling extremely aggrieved.On top of that, the driver exaggerated his words, which caused Elli
In the evening, at the Starry River Villa. During dinner, Mike told Avery his plans for the outing on Memorial Day."Why are you telling me this? I'm not going with you anyway," Avery said calmly."I know you're not coming with us. I'm telling you because I'm taking Hayden along," Mike explained, "Will you let Hayden come with us?"Avery looked at Hayden. "Do you want to go play with them? Do you have a holiday?"Hayden said, "I've already agreed to them."Avery was speechless. Mike looked smug. "Since you have nothing to say, I'm taking Hayden out on Memorial Day. Layla said that she is going out with Eric. As for Robert, I wanted to take him along, but Mrs. Cooper disagreed."Avery placed her utensils down and swept all of them a gaze. "What is the meaning of this? Are you really leaving me home alone?""Didn't you want to spend time with Elliot alone?" Mike teased, "Shouldn't you be happy?""I wasn't serious. He might not even be free on Memorial Day." Avery felt a little
Avery was stunned. "Are you sure?"Mrs. Cooper smiled widely. "Hmm, don't worry. I will take care of Robert. I will make sure he doesn't fall sick.""Why did you change your mind suddenly?" Avery felt something was off. "If you were to take Robert out, I would be home alone."Mrs. Cooper said, "Get Master Elliot to come and be with you! I've already told Mike."Mrs. Cooper left.Avery returned to her room and called Elliot."Elliot, do you have any plans on Memorial Day?"On the other end of the line, Elliot clearly had not thought about this matter. His tone was rather laidback. "Memorial Day is not here yet, right?""It's in two days. Mike is going to take Hayden and Robert out to play. Eric will be taking Layla scuba diving. I thought I was the only one who hasn't planned for the holidays yet." Avery sounded a little sad. "I never thought that you haven't planned for it yet. Don't tell me you'll still be busy preparing for the wedding on Memorial Day?"Elliot did not answer
"Go and check if there is a man called Adrian by Nathan's side." Elliot's tone was cold without any warmth. "If there is…" Elliot's words were stuck in his throat. Adrian was Shea's twin. He should be Foster's young master. Although he might not be liked by his father, a comfortable life was guaranteed.Elliot thought about how he took over his name, family, and life, but at that moment, he even wanted to kill him to ensure that his reputation and life would not be affected.Was that too cruel?"Mr. Foster, if this man is there, what should I do?" The bodyguard on the other end of the line asked, "Please tell me what to do."Elliot was silent for a while. He swallowed his saliva. "Make him disappear from the face of the earth."Since he knew that he was going to hell, he was going to be as selfish as he could! God dealt him a bad set of cards. If he was going to be merciful, he would never win!At the Starry River Villa, Avery came out of the shower feeling extremely nervous.
